Question:
This questioner asks about the hadith: "He is not one of us who strikes his cheeks, tears his garments, and calls out with the call of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance"?
Answer:
Answer: Yes, this hadith is a prohibition against wailing over the deceased. It is obligatory to be patient and seek reward from Allah. In the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, when someone died, women would strike their cheeks and tear their garments in distress over the deceased. This is forbidden; it is one of the practices of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance. It is obligatory to be patient and seek reward from Allah. (And give good tidings to the patient, who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed, we belong to Allah, and to Him we will return." Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the guided.)
